Calgary fans went home feeling cheated after the Flames lost 3-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks in a shootout Tuesday at the Saddledome. The Flames held a 2-0 lead with less than three minutes left but allowed a pair of powerplay goals by Martin Havlat to spark the Blackhawks' comeback.

The Blue Jackets were blanked 3-0 by the visiting Phoenix Coyotes Tuesday in a rough affair.

HEAD-TO-HEAD:

The Flames and Jackets played a chippy contest in Calgary last week but the Flames came away with a 6-2 victory on the strength of three first-period goals as captain Jarome Iginla made his return to the lineup after missing a month with a sprained knee. This is their last of four battles this season. The Flames won both games at the 'Dome but fell 5-4 in a shootout at Nationwide in November.
